Eye strain is very common, especially if you work with screens all day, or outside in the sun and wind.
Symptoms can include:
dryness and irritation
headaches
blurred vision
difficulty focusing
sensitivity to light
eye fatigue
doubled vision
Factors that can contribute to eye strain:
extended screen time
improper lighting
incorrect viewing distance
uncorrected vision problems
Treatment for eye strain, and ways to manage eye strain, include:
eye drops
gentle massage
warm compress
An effective way to manage eye strain, and even prevent eye strain, includes taking a 20 second break to look at an object 20m away every 20 minutes of doing a close-up activity or viewing a screen.
Some other ways to help prevent eye strain include:
maintaining proper lighting
adjusting display settings
blinking regularly
regular eye exams
